Jim Elliott
Therapeutic Scuba Leader
Jim Elliott is the founder and president of Diveheart, a not-for-profit organization that helps build confidence and independence in children, adults and veterans with disabilities through scuba diving. Jim’s inspiration came from his daughter who was blind from birth, and developed tremendous self-confidence after learning how to downhill ski. Passionate about scuba diving since the 1970’s Jim decided to replicate his daughter’s experience, but in the forgiving weightless environment underwater which provides perfect buoyancy and balance to individuals who might otherwise struggle on land.
